...In your own words define difference and provide two examples of this on City Road I would define difference as the thing that makes one thing not the same as the other, something that sets a person apart from the next. A big difference observed on City Road is that between those that are wealthy and those that are not, the wealthier have many more choices than those that are less well off. From the shops they use, the food they purchase to leisure facilities. The food bank is a great example, as benefit delays and debt mean that whenever they are forced to use it, they have little to no choice, whereas the wealthier people in the community make lifestyle choices, for example the farmers market, the taste buds café (open university 2015) Another example of difference in City Road is why do people visit the road? some come to work there for example shop workers, rubbish collectors, road sweepers, office workers, and in their own way they keep the road running (open university 2015) others come to City road for leisure purposes, the municipal club, the pool hall to interact with others in their community, others come to run errands, shopping paying bills…So they all come to City Road for different reasons (Open University 2015). These 2 examples of difference that I have chosen are vitally important to illustrate that the diversity of the community is catered for by the street and as time passes, the street changes (Blakely, Staples 2014). ...

...whether a city is global? What other criteria could be used? This essay seeks to identify criteria’s and different aspects to assess what makes a city global. Firstly, it will outline and explain the concept of globalisation and a global city, showing evidence from the use of academic sources and giving examples if necessary. It shall then continue to examine and focus on a specific global destination, discussing different types of aspects to show what criteria’s make up a global city. Globalisation is a very complex process in which national economies have become more and more integrated and inter dependant towards each other. Global cities are all able to be categorized using a number of different types of methods even though they all share a common ground (Sassen, 1991). There are a number of different types of criteria’s available that make up a global city. These aspects are used in different types of ways to examine whether a city can be considered, identified or revealed as being a global destination. In regards to this, Frieddman (1986) states that global cities are significant destinations that have specific characteristics or functions in terms of economics, political, cultural and connectivity in the global economic system. Global cities, which can also be referred to as Alpha cities or World cities, play a significant role in regards to the country’s economic status. They have become well known as the centre of the world’s global economy. Global cities have become...

...Healthy Communities: Theory and Practice Nur 405 Karen Harriman March 18, 2013 Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Define Community Community is defined as an organization of individuals whom live in a geographical area that has boundaries. These individuals may share the same culture and values. The individuals are arranged in a social structure as related to relationships, which the community has developed over a length of time. Common beliefs are shared and by doing this the members of the community acquire their own personal and identity within the society. The beliefs and values that have been developed by the community previously may be modified in the future (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012). Define Community Health Community health is defined as an ongoing series of changes that promote health (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012). The changes occur within the community between the nurse and the community. Community health has three components. The status of the community, the structure, and the process of the community. The status of the community includes morbidity and mortality rates as well as risk factor profiles. The structure of community health is the services and resources within the community. The process of community health looks at how the communities solve problems. Define Community as a Client The community as a client is defined as a situation in which the focus of nursing is for the common good of the community rather...

...a better friend to democracy by comparison. First to establish a similarity between the two philosophers would be the way in which they describe the origins of democracy. Plato starts by explaining how democracies emerge because of the decay of oligarchies. He claims that oligarchies will lead to a schism within the city, where one city becomes two, the city of the rich and the city of the poor.1 Since the poor faction contains the majority of the population, they will overpower the rich faction who are softened by their luxurious lives and cannot resist the poor. Aristotle defines democracy similarly as “where the poor rule”8 and how he defines the poor is when you combine “poverty with mass.”9 Plato asks “is not the transition from oligarchy to democracy brought about by…the necessity to become as wealthy as possible?”2 The reason he poses that question is because under an oligarchy the concept of goodness is eschewed to only be materialistic wealth and possessions. This causes the poor to want to set up a system whereby they can all try to acquire as much material wealth on an equal playing field without having to make sacrifices for the city. Aristotle...

...Task 1: How would you define Criminology? Criminology is a social Science and One definition of Criminology is, ”knowledge concerning the etiology, prevention, control and treatment of crime delinquency, this includes the measurement and detection of crime, legislation and practice of criminal law, as well as the law enforcement, judicial and correctional systems”. However the research I have done on different Theorists such as DR. Ayman Elzeiny (Egypt), Webster (1959) and Edwin Sutherland, I have learnt that Criminology is hard to define because there are several ways of looking at it. DR. Ayman Elzeiny stated “Criminology can be simply defined as the study of the crime”. He also stated the “Criminology ought before anything to show humanity the way to combat, and especially, prevent, crime”. Another definition I learnt stated “Criminology is the scientific study of crime and criminals” (Webster 1959). An example of scientific study of crime and criminals is using scientific theories such as, Concrete theories which explain observable and verifiable facts. Another Definition I researched and found was one by Edwin H. Sutherland and he stated, “Criminology is the body of knowledge regarding crime as a social phenomenon. It includes within its scope the process of making laws, of breaking laws, and of reacting toward the breaking of laws. The objective of Criminology is the development of a body of general and verified principles and other types of knowledge...

...biggest teacher out there. We can learn so much from it, it can define our abilities our fears and our personalities. In Scott Westerfield’s novel The uglies, Tally lives in a city that has a limited relationship with nature. But when Tally decides to go out and see the real nature for herself, she realizes that nature can help her define who she is and her abilities. Tally lives in a city that does not have a relationship with nature. The city decided to cut nature out of their plan and replace it with a surgery to make people look pretty. Therefore Tally has always lived her life thinking more about her society and not about what you see outside a window....

...a whole has a common set of virtues that many people agree on. In today’s society, these are known as laws. Virtues also mold the individual outlook on life, and give them the moral’s to do what is right. In The Republic, Plato divides the city into three classes: gold, silver, as well as bronze and iron souls. Each class is designated to posses a specific virtue. He believes that wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice combine together to form The Republic. However, Plato’s four virtues individually do not necessarily produce a utopian society. A combination of the four in each citizen is imperative in producing the ideal society. In Plato’s search for the perfect “republic”, he decides that the basis of the city will be on four virtues. The first of them is wisdom. Plato defines wisdom, in Greek terms “Sophia”, as knowledge of the city as a whole. Of the three classes, the gold souls posses the virtue of wisdom. The gold souls are the only class whose knowledge goes beyond the mere facts to the level of true wisdom. “…This class, which properly has a share in that knowledge which alone among the various kinds of knowledge ought to be called wisdom, has, as it seems, the fewest members by nature” (429a). The second virtue that Plato defines is courage, which in Greek terms is “Andreia”. Courage is the preservation of the opinion produced by law, through education about what things are terrible, and what things are good. Courage can be found in the silver souls. Plato uses the...

...n the first book, two definitions of justice are proposed but deemed inadequate.[7] Returning debts owed, and helping friends while harming enemies are common sense definitions of justice that, Socrates shows, are inadequate in exceptional situations, and thus lack the rigidity demanded of a definition. Yet he does not completely reject them for each expresses a common sense notion of justice which Socrates will incorporate into his discussion of the just regime in books II through V. At the end of Book I, Socrates agrees with Polemarchus that justice includes helping friends, but says the just man would never do harm to anybody. Thrasymachus believes that Socrates has done the men present an injustice by saying this and attacks his character and reputation in front of the group, partly because he suspects that Socrates himself does not even believe harming enemies is unjust. Thrasymachus gives his understanding of justice and injustice as "justice is what is advantageous to the stronger, while injustice is to one's own profit and advantage".[8] Socrates finds this definition unclear and begins to question Thrasymachus. Socrates then asks whether the ruler who makes a mistake by making a law that lessens their well-being, is still a ruler according to that definition. Thrasymachus agrees that no true ruler would make such an error. This agreement allows Socrates to undermine Thrasymachus' strict definition of justice by comparing rulers to people of various professions. Thrasymachus...

...elements of identity or I should say the characteristics of identity define the gay community of West Hollywood. West Hollywood in California has become one of the largest gay communities in the world. The people living in this outlined community are defined as gay people because they have been or identify themselves with the seven elements that identify gay people. These characteristics are defined in creativity, aesthetic sensibility, orientation towards entertainment or consumption, progressiveness, responsibility, maturity, and centrality. West Hollywood reinforces and welcomes individuals with these characteristics in lifestyle. I am not saying every gay person possesses these seven elements, however West Hollywood has become the one place where persons who have some or all of these characteristics seem to roam or go to this particular area because it has defined itself as a gay community. Many gay men have moved here specifically as it has been defined as a place where they can actually, "come out" without being ridiculed. They can be accepted here for who they are and what they have been defined as because they were born with these elements. They can use this place because it has been defined by the same elements that define gay people. The media in West Hollywood developed the connection between place and identity by characterizing the people who live there as those possessing the rare qualities which define the seven elements that gays often have. The media presents these...

...The General Plan Student’s Name Institution of Learning Every city has its vision, goals and strategy. That’s why, they need to make some plan in order to set policy guidelines for every future action and to work for particular results. This document describes implementation steps and direction of city development. The general plan of city is its constitution and policy guide for the future. I have chosen a city of Fresno in California to analyze its general plan and how they are dealing with problems. This community is facing some noise issues, especially traffic sound. It might look like not so important problem in the fast-growing world, but often it can be annoying and even harmful for mental health. That’s why, it is useful to know how to deal with such problems. Furthermore, issues of noise are widely spread in Fresno, because there are three airports, four state highways and also some major streets, carrying large vehicles and truck traffic. It is important to note that industrial facilities in the city also generate noise from equipment. Due to the general plan, the goal of the community has been made in relation to this issue. They want to promote a city of Fresno with safe and comfortable streets and to have a lot of opportunities to relax. A vision is to make Fresno an ideal place for living, working and relaxing or to improve the quality of life there. In the general plan there are a lot of solutions to deal with noise problems. For example, state...
